IMPROVEMENT IN SPRING-SEATS FOR WAGONS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 195,56l, datedSeptember 25, 1877 application filed August 24, 1877.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that 1, LEWIS J. BAZZONI, of N ewburg, county of Orange andState of New York, have invented a new and Improved Wagon-Spring, ofwhich the following is a specification This invention has relation to amode of mounting wagon-seats; and the nature of my invention consists insuspending the bottom of the wagon-body from the reach-bars of the seat,when these bars are supported at their ends upon springs, as will behereinafter explained.

In the annexed drawings, Figure 1 is a section taken longitudinally andvertically through the wagon-body and seat attachment in the planeindicated by dotted line wm, Fig. 2. Fig. 2 is a section takentransversely through the wagon in the course in dicated by dotted liney3 Fig. 1.

Similar letters of reference indicate correspondin g parts.

The letterAindicates the body of the wagon, which is properly braced andstrengthened; and B designates the bottom of the Wagonbody. The seat 0is secured to two longitudinal reach-bars, D D, which are supported attheir ends upon springs S S, transversely arranged, and bolted at themiddle of their length to blocks E, which blocks are secured to bottompieces fixed to the bod y of the wagon. The bottom or platform B of thewagon-body is suspended from the ends of the reach-bars D I) by means ofangular hangers G, which are located at or near the four corners of thewagon-body.

It will be observed from the above description that the seat and thebottom of the wagonbody are elastically connected, so that they bothmove together. I thus save the driver from the inconvenience of shocksand concussions, and afford him an easy seat.

Having thus fully described my invention, I claim as new and desire tosecure by Letters Patent In combination with the seat-reaches D andspring-supports therefor, the movable bottom B, suspended by hangersGfrom said reaches, substantially as described.
